MY THOUGHTS:
Megan Lewis is certain that there’s going to be a wedding. But then again, this wedding might not happen. When Megan and her friends get together for a hen party over the weekend, things take a disturbing turn. A funeral display with the words “R I P M E G A N” appears, and they’re funeral flowers. Someone doesn’t want Megan to marry, and it seems like they’re willing to go to any lengths to stop her, perhaps even putting her life at risk.
Megan, eagerly anticipating her upcoming marriage to Jamie, believes it was love at first sight. This conviction leads her to believe that this is the best decision for her and will bring her lasting happiness. However, someone else has a completely different perspective. The threats don’t end with the initial shocking message. These threats have undoubtedly put a damper on her hen party.
From the very beginning, the party is off-balance. To make matters worse, Megan invited Lauren to the hen party, hoping to mend their fractured friendship. Unfortunately, the two are clearly at odds, and their differences only escalate when they start playing revealing party games.
Just when things can’t get any worse, a newcomer, Beth, joins the group. Beth claims to be Jamie’s cousin, and everything goes completely off the rails. Megan already felt unnerved by Lauren’s presence, Beth’s arrival just makes things worse.
The party is filled with threats, secrets, lies, and blackmail—none of which are conducive to happiness. The threats are clear and escalate tension throughout the short span of time the story takes place. This thrilling domestic suspense story is expertly paced and filled with twists and surprises. The reader is drawn into Megan’s point of view, especially as some revelations start to become clear.
Many thanks to Boldwood Books and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
